Abstract:
The World Day against Child Labour (WDACL) is observed worldwide on 12 June and serves as a catalyst for the growing worldwide movement against child labour. The International Labour Organization (ILO) launched the first World Day against Child Labour in 2002 as way to highlight the plight of working children. On the day, various events around the world are organized by number of agencies involving governments, employers and workers, other UN organizations and non-governmental organization to highlight the most pressing and challenging issue embedded with tackling of the global commitment on child labour elimination. Each year, the WDACL gives a specific focus or set a global theme capturing a most pressing issue on child labour to draw wider attention of general public and policy makers. This year’s global theme set by ILO/IPEC was “Give Girls a Chance: End Child Labour. Thus, in 2009, the activities were designed in such a way that awareness could be raised on the vulnerability of girls in child labour along with highlighting the exploitations faced by girl engaged in various forms of child labour. On the occasion of WDACL (12 June, 2009) various events were undertaken by implementing partner agencies of ILO/IPEC under SECBL-II project in Dhanusha, Siraha and Saptari districts to mark the day.
Local school teachers, political leaders, member of women groups, child rights protection
committees, youths, child workers and their parents actively took part in the activities carried out on the occasion of WDACL, 2009. Moreover, the active and meaningful participation was also observed in all of the events in the project sites by local and district level government agencies, employers, workers, local NGOs, news media, Haruwa/Charuwa and general public. The SECBL-II Project provided technical and financial support to carry out such activities in the districts as provisioned in APSOs under SECBL-II. Some IPs also generated local resources to organize few of the activities.
